Tens of thousands of parents have turned to this compassionate
resource for support and practical advice grounded in cutting-edge
scientific knowledge. Numerous vivid stories show how to recognize
and address anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and other
devastating eating disorders that wreak havoc on teens and their
families. James Lock and Daniel Le Grange present strong evidence
that parents-who have often been told to take a back seat in eating
disorder treatment-can and must play a key role in recovery.
Whether pursuing family-based treatment or other options, parents
learn specific, doable steps for monitoring their teen's eating and
exercise habits, managing mealtimes, ending weight-related power
struggles, and collaborating successfully with health care
providers. Featuring the latest research and resources, the second
edition now addresses additional disorders recognized in DSM-5
(including binge-eating disorder).
This book includes a foreword by Peter Baker, Chief Executive, The
Men's Health Forum. Male weight problems are a serious public
health issue and can lead to hypertension, hyperlipidaemia,
diabetes and cancer. If current trends continue, the prospect of
the majority of men becoming overweight is a very real one, and
urgent action is imperative. The middle-aged spread that most men
'expect' to develop as they enter into their thirties and forties
is now occurring much earlier with boys and young men developing
life limiting weight problems. This multidisciplinary guide
provides a gender sensitive approach to weight issues. Men need to
be targeted specifically and in a male-focused manner, in order to
overcome the multitude of contributing factors in their weight
gain; social influences, dietary restrictions, education, cultural
expectations, psychological considerations and exercise regime.
This book takes a balanced approach, offering practical guidance as
well as evidence-based research, academic perspectives and personal
experiences. The advice is easy to implement and has been proven in
real-life settings. All healthcare professionals, nutritionists and
dieticians will find the assistance invaluable. It is also highly
recommended for psychologists, counsellors and therapists,
particularly those working with men. Healthcare policy makers and
shapers too, will find much of interest. 'A definitive and seminal
book that will change the way male weight problems are tackled in
the UK and beyond.' - Peter Baker, in the Foreword.
This title contains foreword by Eric Van Furth, President, American
Academy of Eating Disorders. This guide draws together the latest
developments in eating disorders. Together with its companion
volume "Annual Review of Eating Disorders Part 2", this resource
covers the twenty key topics including binge eating, trauma,
self-help, assessment and negative body image. It is a compilation
of reviews from leading scientists and clinicians, and is the
essential update for busy professionals and health researchers,
with a clear emphasis on clinical implications. It also provides
invaluable information for psychologists, psychiatrists,
dieticians, family doctors, pediatricians, counsellors and
educators. 'Very important. Successful. Well respected.
Comprehensive. Appropriate for all clinicians, researchers, and
trainees who work in the area of eating disorders. A great
reference for those needing direction on the current available
treatments.' - Shiela M Dowd, PhD, Rush University Medical Center,
Illinois, USA. 'Presents information in manageable chunks which are
easy to digest. Research is clearly linked to clinical practice.
Easy to read. Helpful. Comprehensive. A valuable resource for new
as well as experienced clinicians.' - Primary Care and Community
Psychiatry. "Last year's Review was very well received, by
researchers and clinicians alike, and I am confident that the same
will be true this year. Keeping track of the latest developments in
the research on eating disorders is a major challenge for all of
us. The abundant information that is now available via journals,
online reference web sites, university databases, and
individualized e-alerts can be so overwhelming that it is difficult
to see the forest trough the trees. Integrating results from
various sources and translating these findings into day-to-day
clinical practice is not easily done. The "Annual Review" truly is
the best way to stay up to date!" - Eric F van Furth, in the
Foreword.
